At dawn of day wo are
nil run on our
'journey. Nothing of note occurs, and
in a week from date we are to the
lively camp of Hogem. Here we find
every ghade of human nature; we will
briefly 'notice the career of one, and
we, are done. J ny
were immigrants
from NwsVork; The father had died
,"cn the-way and the mother and daugh

The mother was keeping a , boarding
house. I We boarded there. A man,
we know him not, was steadily insinu
ating himself in the daughter's affec
tions.1 If was finally rumored that they
VerVto be married next spring. Spring
came,, we bought claims, left the hotel
and worked, till fall. Meantime there
- came a rumor that the landlady's daugh
ter was "ick and that IJill Junk was
" gone;1 We had wound up the summer's
work.; Again-the golden hue of autumn
,aa thrQwingj, its growing mantle o'er
nhl'lap of nature,1 when we left the
mountain gorge,, where our claim was,
and came into town. There was a great
'commotion at the hotel. Julia was
dead. Rough miners stood aronnd, men
that had went through every conceiv
able phase of rough existence, weeping.
- hey made her a eraveon the flat back
of town; haneath the pines. We fol-

not ihe ,cold. cant that ope hears in our

words. V and I feel that I am. thine ap-

he said, drawing his pistol, and fireing.
A few nore shots were. exchanged wlien
the seducer lay Ae:u at the fet of his
wounded assailant. AsTI fiobh this, I
receiVe this letter " Dear friend I
went back to Hogem, after I left you
at Walla Walla. I have persuaded
Julia's mother to return to New York,
and allow me the happiness of educat
ing her granddaughter. As you know,
I have plenty of this world's goods,
and if the Lord spares my life, Iinteui
it shall be spent ia doing good. The
child is bright and cheerful now, and
none will ever know her father. Long
life to you ; my wounds may heal over,
but I'll never be sound. Sometimes
pray that you and I and and Julia
may meet in Heaven."
The end.
-
A Perfect Cure.
A contributor tells an exchange how
he was permanently cured of fits. He
was riding in the mining districts of
Nevada one of those mushroon growths
common in the territories when night
came upon him. Tired and huugrv,
he drew up at a greasy, dirty shanty
which was ealled a tavern, and 6ouuhf
accommodations. He Hhus details his
night's experience:
The landlord could only give me a
room with a bedfellow.
" Very well, I don't object," said I,
as he 1'jd tlie way by the light of u
miserable tallow dip, which he left with
me to light iue to bed.
I surveyed th? room.and particularly
my bedfellow. He was a mild looking
man. I thoughtperhaps a clas
leader, in some primitive log church
near bv. His repoee was so ouiot and
childlike that 1 thought we would sleep
reacefully together for the night : but
before I had blown out the light, he
opened a snore that 6emed like a cross
between filing a saw and sawing a board,
and my feelings at once became mali
cious toward him.
I blew out the light and turned in,
and still the snore continued. The moon
had now risen, making every object in
the rornn visible.
I hunched niv friend, and as he
opened his eye with a snap, he said :
" Hv iiniro. Mister, how vou scared
J J ' w
me. You going to sleep hero to-night?
"Yes."
Well. I'm miahtv clad of it. I al-
w!tvs l'lkn enmnanv. It's kinder lone-
some to sleep alone."
... . . - ,
" Yes. it is so. Pardon me for waktng
you, but I thpught it my duty to tell
you that I sometimes take fits."
" What, ntsf iou uoqi nay u,
Mister!"
" Yes I do. I'm not particularly
dangerous, but I bite sometimes ; so be
careful that 1 don't get my teeth into
you."
"Well, 111 bedoggonedi l nope
you won't have any fits."
"So do I."
" I hope, Mister, you won't bite me
if you do have any fits.
14 O, I hope not." v
He drew a long breath, and then
said :
t Well, I am afraid that I won't
sleep any to-night."
" O, don't lose any sleep."
" But how am I to know when you
arc going to have fits,?"
"O, I groan, and breathehard, and
foam at the mouth ; and when you hear
me snap my teeth like a dog, then you
had better look out."
" Well, I'm blamed if I ain't sorry.
Mister, that you came in here. I'm
afraid you'll be moro company than I
want" t
41 Oh, don't be uneasy ; I sometimes
don't have any for months. Let's go
to sleep j and I pretended to drop ofi
into peaceful slumber.
' My companion rolled and tumbled
uneasily for some time, then dropped
off into an uneapy plumber, and soon
commenced that old snore just where
he left' off when I woke him up. That
decided me upon having a fit, and, with
a fearful snore, and a horrible groan
ing, I set my nails into his arms and
my teeth into his shoulder, just hard
enough to nip nicely, but it was enough
for the purpose. With a terrible yell
ho sprang rora the bed, and ,wen.t fly
ing down stairs exclaiming :
I' O dear, he's got fits, he's got fits !
Ho has bitten a piece out of my shoul
der 1"
The landlord, with a crowd from the
bar-room,' came hurrying up, and found
me just recovering from the offects of
the fit; and giving me a hot toddy
from his own private bottle, he left me.
He carried with him the clothing of
my bed fellow, who had turned in on a
blanket on the floor, down stairs, re
solved to be bitten no more by men
having fits.
It was delicious to have the whole
bed to myself, and I luxuriated in it by
stretching myself entirely across it 1
had soon dropped into a slumber, peace
ful and iuuccent.as my childhood, when
l was 'aroused ' by "some one -roughly
6hakinr mv shoulder and savins:
' Wake up, stranger, and move over
Half of this bed is mine.
I opened my eyes oa a six-foot
teamster, who was pulling off his rough
boots. A rough looking specimen he
was. He annoyed me by taking up
twothirds of the bed and crowding me
to the wall. I concluded to try another
fit, and said :
My friend."
" 0,shut up your trap, I'm sleepy."
" Hut I thought I'd tell you that I
have fi:s."
Well, fit away, 60 you don't wake
me.
" But I bite when I have thcra."
" Well, bite the bed-post, then,"
Now, thin ought to have convinced
ni that this was the wrong customer,
but it didn't ; end, waiting until he was
sound akleep, like a fool I buckled in,
and set u y teeth and uails into him in
splendid style, while I groaned fearfully.
It was the last fit 1 had ever had, a per
fect f--ucet'ss on my pirt ; but the way
that chap jumped out of bed and mauled
me eroutid that room w:is the most per
fect fsuftvs.s in pugulistic treatment I
ever exrierictMvd. Ho brought me out
of that fif. He cured tne of it. I don't
thtnd I'll ever h ive another, but I do
n it like 'his tuediciue. Mv eves were
ail hlacked up. m- nose blooded, lit
split open, one ear flattened to my head.
mv fhirt front all torn off, and to make
ml
the matter wuio the fellow was asleep
in five minutes alter, as though nothing
had happi ned.
The next morcing, I went down late
to breakfast, and all crowded around to
see the man who lud fits, and to tell
me that my horse had been stolen. Tht
u.iid l(H)ki(i; niHO, my first bed-fellow,
had gone off with him.

oneration of bovs I should have failed.
The eldest is near twenty-one, and tho
other boys in tho neighborhood have
left their parents mine have stuck to
me when, I most needed their' services.
I attribute this result to thp fact that
I have tried to make home pleasant for
tboin. I furnished them with attractive
and useful reading ; and when night
comes and the day's work is done, in
stead of running with other boys to
railroad stations and adjoining towns,
they gather around the great lamp, and
beoomo interested in their hooka and

A Cheerful Suicide.
The New York papers are chronicl-
ing tne snutiung ou ot a young man
named liufus Kipley, who held a cler
ical position in a Wail street bank, and
who seems to have destroyed himself in
thn best possible manner., He was a
haudsoine fellow, but he suffered with
neuralgic puins, and worried somewhat
over the death of his father. On Fri-1
day, he left his. desk in the Jiaukiof
New lork, walked up stairs and nred a
pistol ball through his heart. He left
a matter-of-fact note, of which the fol
lowing is a copy. It is rather cheerful
for a suicide, aud contains some jocose
allusions which are as mysterious as
Mr. Pickwick's ' Chops aud Tomato
fcauce :
"Dkar Ned I think you will find
everything all right. hoever takes
my place will find the accounts and in
terest statements in my right hand
drawer. Things are n little behind
hand, for I have been too miserable to
keep everything up toths'mark. The
only old affair that bothers my mind at
all h that 10,000 credit of Allen, Uopp
k Co. I can't get rid of the idea that
they have credit for 510,000 too much.
You remember the transaction, and 1
believe understood it. If not, please
look it up. I am worn out with head
ache and figures, aud I am going to my
long rest. Please remember me kindly
to Mr. Lcverich and Mr. Meeker, and
tell them I km grateful for their kind
ness through the past ear. Say good
lye to Mr. Ferris and all the boys for
me. Meaney li the only one with whom
I have any mi-understanding. Tell
him that I am torrv. and that he must
foryive me now. Shake hands With Kb
Maon for tne. Many thanks, Eddie,
for your kindness to me while I have
been in the gold department. Tell Joe
that I'll have to do without my m rn
ing dose uow, but hope not to need any
more dosing. Tell Hill that the band
struck up,' and Oaky to 'sockatoom,'
and Stouty that 4 he's no better than he
should be and ask S an if he has got
any voice, and Officer if he is there ;
ak Tis if he'll 4 tick up' 4, 11, 4 4.
and Mr. Hanker how he'll swop. Tell
Hill I remember the 4 rock? and sands.'
I have made the last posting in the
ledger of life, and now I am going to
' tick off Good-bye ; God bless you.

To this was appended a huiuoious
codicil in the following language :
' Thank Robert for the key, and ask
Walley how he swims. Say to Mrs.
llrown good-bye, and that I 11 miss the
rice pudding."

not a drinker. His habits were excel

verdict in hisca.se was temporary insan

u ?entleman employed a mason to do
some work for him, and among other
things to 'thin whiten' the walls of one
of his chambers This thin whitening
is almost colorless until dried. The
gentleman was much surprised on the
next morning after the chamber was
finished, to find on the drawer of n bu
reau standing in his room white fiuger
marks. Opening the drawer he found
the samo on the articles in it, and on a
trticket-book. An examination revealed

his wet hands had opened the drawer
and searched the barr. which contained

show at first, and probably he had no
idea that twelve hours' drying would
